Intense set-up work on Wednesday
By BMW Sauber F1 Team July 9 2008
On the second day of testing in Hockenheim, Nick Heidfeld again took to the track for the BMW Sauber F1 Team. The German covered 115 laps on the 4.572 kilometre Hockenheimring. Weather conditions were overcast in the morning, but sunny in the afternoon.
The temperatures reached up to 25 degrees Celsius. Nick covered a total of 526 kilometres on the German track. His fastest lap was recorded at 1:16.235 minutes. McLaren's Lewis Hamilton (1:14.872 minutes) proved to be the fastest driver of the session.
    
Completing 115 laps Nick today continued his preparation for the upcoming German Grand Prix. In significantly better weather than yesterday his main goal was the mechanical and aerodynamical setup of the BMW Sauber F1.08. He also concentrated on tyre testing collecting valuable data on the two compounds (medium and hard) nominated for the Hockenheim race.     

Tomorrow Robert Kubica will take over testing duties. He will use the last of the three Hockenheimring test days to finetune the setup of the BMW Sauber F1.08 to his liking.
